A tornado tore through a southern California city Wednesday, ripping roofs off buildings and throwing cars around, as the state's ongoing winter weather drama turned even wilder.

"I was driving... and I saw this tornado in front of me and had to reverse out," one local business owner told broadcaster KTLA. Aerial pictures in the aftermath showed holes in several roofs, pipes and installations twisted and broken, and cars seemingly pushed out of their parking bays. "A weak, narrow tornado briefly touched down in the Sandpiper Village mobile home park in Carpinteria on the evening of Tuesday, March 21," the NWS said.
Nevertheless, "this is a pretty significant tornado by standards since it hit a populated area, clearly caused damage, and may have caused injuries," meteorologist Daniel Swain said on Twitter.The tornadoes came at the tail end of an intense storm that ripped through California, downing trees and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people as it dumped heavy rain and snow.
Utility companies will need to assess possible damage to water, waste and electrical systems before anyone can be given the green light for returning home.Over the last few months, the state has been hit by a dozen atmospheric rivers -- ribbons of moisture that chug in from the Pacific Ocean.
